I got in my 2016 Kadjar for the first time in 2 weeks this morning, and received two messages saying, there's an update for the R-Link 2, which will improve traffic information and new maps. I've never seen that before on the R-Link, so thought "great, it must be something big". When I logged into the R Link Store on my laptop, I was disappointed to find there were no updates available.
Has anyone else received these messages on their R-Link 2, and was there an update ?
My current versions are:
2.2.19.300

I took my car (2016 Kadjar 1.6 dci dynamique S Nav 4WD) for a service at Renault Cardiff last week, and was told that the rear brake pads are down to 8mm and 5mm. The car is only 2 years old, with 14500 miles. I don't understand how the rear pads can wear this badly in 2 years, as I would have expected the front pads to wear quicker (10mm each).
I been in touch with Renault Customer Relations, who have contacted the garage, and told me that the brakes are fine and don't need to be replaced yet (even though they gave me a price for replacement, £133), and they just need to be checked again in November (which the garage didn't tell me).
I did have my car serviced at the same dealer last year, and the brakes were fine. Since that last service, I've only done 3,500 miles.
Surely the rear pads shouldn't wear quicker than the front, and if they are the pads are either substandard, or there's an issue with the system.
Has anyone else had problems with rear pads ? And what did you do about it ?

Does anyone know what this little black button/ knob/ sensor is? I was thinking thermometer or something to do with microphone, but not sure. You can probably see, its in the centre console above the mirror.

I took my Kadjar into Renault for a Firmware update, but was told I had the latest version.
Renault Connected Services replied to me saying :
I am sorry to inform that the update has been delayed by the developers.The god news is you won't need to book your car in for service again, since the update is being made available for download on the R-Link Store directly. Meaning you can do it on your own computer at home.Unfortunately we do not have an estimated date for released yet, but if you would like I shall keep you informed and notify you once it comes out.
